Beefy tomato macaroni soup for your crockpot

Today I decided to try a soup.  Since it has been sooooo unbelievably cold I thought a hot soup would be great.  I love soup but wanted a hearty one.  I found this one and off I went to the grocery store to buy all the ingredients for it to make for today.

1.5 lbs ground beef
1 onion diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups very strong beef broth
1 28 oz can of chopped tomatoes
1 28 oz can of whole tomatoes
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1-2 Tbs of brown sugar.  (or to taste)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
3 cups elbow macaroni or 2 cups dry macaroni to add in at the end.

Cook your ground beef with your garlic and onion until done.  Drain grease. Put your meat mixture in your crock-pot.
Add your beef broth and tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and Italian seasoning.
Put your lid on and cook for 8 hours.
When it is done you will add your dry macaroni and cook another 20-25 mins.  Or add your precooked macaroni and until they are heated through and serve.

*I did mix this up a bit.  I do not like whole tomatoes so I substituted it for rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies.  Also I did precook my macaroni and I did not mix them together.  I don't like soggy noodles so I put my noodles in my bowl and then pour the soup over it.  I will keep my noodles separate for tomorrow too.

This is really good and I will make this again.  Let me know what you think if you make this.

*****Added: this is by far my favorite recipe as of right now.  I love it!  I want to make this all the time.*******
